If your travel insurance either does not offer this cover, or the cancellation cover offered by your travel insurer would not be enough to cover your car hire charges as well as your general holiday costs, it is worthwhile considering cancellation insurance. Sometimes this is offered through car hire excess insurance. There is a link to compare these polices below.
If you have bought your car hire through a broker remember that your risks extend to the broker's insolvency as well as the hire firm itself. Finally, paying by credit card may afford some protection, although there may be additional fees for paying using this method.
Companies offering car hire cancellation insurance are detailed on the MoneyMaxim car hire insurance service. Once you have run a quote and have your table of results, click on the 'Show details' button next to any quote and the level of cancellation cover included in the policy will be listed.
